thread beauty Names Recording Artist Saucy Santana as First Celebrity Brand Ambassador

thread beauty

thread beauty, the pioneering Gen-Z focused cosmetics brand continues to break beauty boundaries by announcing its first-ever Celebrity Beauty Ambassadorship with the viral music sensation and influential LGBTQIA+ advocate, American Hip-Hop Artist Saucy Santana, to promote affordable, inclusive beauty, and redefine beauty standards for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. As a multi-hyphenate Artist and LGBTQIA+ icon, Santana embodies the fearless spirit of authenticity that thread beauty epitomizes. Beginning his career in the music industry as the Celebrity Makeup Artist to the City Girls, Saucy Santana ’s unapologetic personality, fearless approach to self-expression as a LGBTQIA+ musical artist and his viral empowering anthems championing black women, align perfectly with thread beauty 's commitment to making beauty affordable and accessible for all melanated beauty lovers of color and marginalized communities. As one of the few openly queer Hip-Hop Artists in the industry, Santana courageously paves the way for diversity in the music industry, challenging norms and celebrating the beauty of diversity through his artistry and activism. In turn, thread beauty continues to disrupt outdated beauty standards and pushes the envelope to introduce diverse images of beauty to its shelves at exclusive retailer Target. "It's one thing to be the first celebrity face of thread beauty, but to also be the first celebrity face as a black, feminine, gay man will mean so much to my community - especially for boys like me! Within the community, boys that are considered bigger, dark skin, plus-size & feminine don't get a lot of opportunities. So it means a lot to me and speaks volume to who thread beauty is as a brand, that they chose me for this opportunity to show up for my community and make us more visible! And I love that!" shared Saucy Santana Launching in 2022 and created by The Lip Bar Inc CEO & Founder Melissa Butler, thread beauty, the Target-clean and cruelty-free Black-owned and female-founded brand, has been dually focused on delivering multi-use products in a broad range of shades at an affordable price (all products are $8), and championing diversity and challenging traditional beauty norms. By joining forces with Saucy Santana, the influential Rapper and trailblazing figure within the LGBTQIA+ community, thread beauty is furthering its mission to inspire and empower all beauty lovers of color, specifically in the queer community, with self-affirming cosmetics for the girls, guys, theys, thems and everyone in between, to feel not only welcome but also confident enough to unapologetically express their authentic selves. The thread beauty x Saucy Santana partnership serves to strengthen the brand’s commitment to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community by further putting their money where their mouth is outside of Pride Month and empowering individuals from all walks of life to celebrate self-love, authenticity, beauty, self-expression and inclusivity through the harmonious fusion of music and cosmetics. Santana’s empowering lyrics encourage his fans to embrace their uniqueness and find strength in their identities, energetically rapping about topics such as self-confidence, body positivity, and overcoming adversity, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-love among his listeners. As a proud ally to the queer community, thread beauty currently donates 15% of every purchase on their brand site to LGBTQIA+ allyship organizations year-round. Saucy Santana is in full support of thread beauty ’s ongoing #takepride campaign, which has been active since June of 2022 and donates to LGBTQIA+ causes, including the LGBTQ Freedom Fund, Black AIDS Institute, The Trevor Project and Joshua Home: An LGBTQ Safe Haven. "Prior to launching thread beauty, we weren't seeing diversity in the beauty space, especially when it comes to men in makeup. thread was very proud to be the first brand to put a man-in-makeup on our main header displays in Target. I know first-hand that representation matters. If there's a little boy out there that wears makeup or wants to wear lip gloss but doesn’t see that in the retail spaces, then there's room for shame or the need to seek validation. I truly believe that without representation, you are left seeking validation, and thread beauty shows up to validate the niches that were not being previously validated - especially in the color cosmetics space. Who better to be the face of a beauty brand championing unapologetic self-expression and genuine authenticity than 'the' Saucy Santana? We are overwhelmed & overjoyed that we get to embark on this first partnership with him." shared thread beauty CEO & Founder, Melissa Butler As the first beauty brand to feature male models and creators in its in-store header visuals at Target, thread beauty’s new campaign images will once again be disrupting ‘the norm’ or ‘standard idea’ of drug store beauty, reinforcing the need for this groundbreaking partnership. Furthermore, due to the brand’s continued focus on diversity and inclusivity, thread beauty 's newly expanded line of “ face it ” complexion sticks, now features the largest shade range of any stick foundation available in store at Target - with an inclusive range of 26 shades and counting! thread beauty is available on threadbeauty.co, Target.com and in Target stores nationwide.

Exploring Different Trading Methods in the CFD Market

LonghornFX

Innovation has always been a pillar of the financial industry, driving change and progress across markets and trading instruments. A product of financial creativity is the contract for difference (CFD), a derivative instrument that gives traders market exposure to other assets without directly owning them. There are several good reasons contracts for difference trading have become so popular. Traders can use CFDs to add leverage and trade larger sizes. CFD traders don’t need to fund the entire asset upfront, but they need to put up margin. Retail traders must understand that trading CFDs isn’t without risk. Understanding the market and managing risk are crucial to successful CFD trading. Common Types of CFDs Available to Trade You can buy a CFD on many types of financial assets. The underlying asset types can include: Indexes Indexes measure the performance of a group of assets. The Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 is an example of an index that tracks the performance of the 100 biggest London-listed companies. Some of the most well-known indices include the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite, which track the performance of U.S. stocks. Many other indices track the performance of specific sectors, regions or asset classes, such as emerging markets, commodities or bonds. Indexes expose traders to a broader and diversified portion of the market. Index values are calculated according to predetermined formulas and weighted by price or market capitalization, for example. If weighted by market capitalization, bigger companies have more influence over the index value. Traders use indexes to track broader market trends. Forex Forex trading refers to the exchange of one currency for another. The forex market is the biggest financial market on earth, trading more than $7.5 trillion in value every day. The market is open for trade 24 hours a day five days a week. Foreign currencies are volatile and trading can be risky, but traders can tap into strong liquidity and profit from forex trading. The most-traded currency pair is the EUR/USD, followed by the USD/JPY, GBP/USD and USD/CHF. Forex is hugely popular, with millions of investors trading in forex. Stocks Stock traders buy and sell company shares. Stocks or shares represent ownership in the company. The stock trader’s goal is to profit from price changes. For those who time the market correctly, stock trading can be very profitable. But stock trading also carries the risk of loss. Stock traders might aim to profit from short-term stock price changes, while longer-term investors often buy shares to earn medium to long-term passive income. Institutional and retail traders trade popular stocks like Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. Commodities Commodities include raw materials and agricultural products such as crude oil, precious metals, wheat and coffee. They are traded on commodities exchanges. Commodities trading requires specialized knowledge and may be inherently risky. Commodity prices change with supply and demand and can unexpectedly move either way. Understanding commodities may also require taking note of storage or transport costs, because commodities are physical assets. Many traders use commodity trading to diversify their portfolios. Commodities may offer a good hedge against inflation because they are physical assets that can be scarce. Choosing the Right CFD Trading Type Your financial strategy, risk tolerance and experience should guide your choice of the best CFD trading type. You should choose assets you have some knowledge and experience with. Also consider a CFD broker platform with the tools and resources to analyze market performance. If you lack experience in the market that interests you, spend some time practicing on a demo account with virtual money before you risk real money. Spend some time thinking about risk-management strategies before you commit your money. You can diversify and use limit and stop-loss orders to reduce your exposure. Highly leveraged trading may be tempting, but it will amplify losses. Can You Trade CFDs with Any Online Trading Platform? CFD trades are available on most trading platforms. Choose your CFD broker with care, as trading CFDs is risky. Choose a regulated CFD broker who can provide a quality online trading platform for retail traders. Rapid trade execution and attentive and available customer support are essential aspects of a good trading platform. Look for an online platform that offers trade in all the asset classes you plan to buy and sell. The platform should provide a full set of analysis and charting tools and educational materials to help you make the best trading decisions. News is also an essential aspect of trading CFDs, so a live news feed is helpful. Profitable CFD trading depends on a methodical analysis of the assets traded, and your online trading platform must provide the tools. The best online trading platforms will also offer a demo account, enabling you to test your CFD trading with virtual money. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Could ECN Brokers and Electronic Communications Networks Benefit Your Forex Trading Experience?

LonghornFX

The forex market continues to evolve with advanced technologies, offering traders new opportunities and improved efficiency. One such innovation is the use of automated electronic communications networks (ECNs) by forex brokers for trading. These ECNs facilitate direct matching of buy and sell orders, providing instantaneous execution and numerous advantages for investors. In the decentralized forex market, all trades are conducted online. ECNs play a crucial role in this process by connecting buyers and sellers directly, eliminating the need for intermediaries. By displaying the best available bid and ask prices on their trading platforms, ECN brokers empower investors to make informed decisions. Additionally, ECN brokers charge lower commissions compared to traditional brokers for executing trades and matching orders. ECN brokers are forex brokers that utilize ECNs to process trades placed by clients. Unlike market makers who act as principals, ECN brokers match trades with other market participants in the forex market. By employing non-dealing desk trading platforms and automated straight-through processing, ECN brokers contribute to market liquidity and strive to reduce bid-ask spreads. They introduce transparency by providing traders with access to the best-available currency quotations, empowering them to make well-informed trading decisions. Selecting an ECN forex broker can significantly enhance returns on currency trades due to their variable bid-ask spreads and low slippage rates. ECN brokers serve as liquidity providers, connecting traders worldwide around the clock. Unlike market makers who offer fixed spreads, ECN brokers match orders for specific currency pairs rather than setting the bid or ask rates. By eliminating dealing desks and executing trades automatically, ECN brokers provide bid-ask spreads close to interbank market rates. Begin Your ECN Forex Trading Journey Today For aspiring forex traders, ECN forex brokers offer an excellent starting point, thanks to their competitive interbank market spreads. However, it is crucial to consider pricing transparency and commission structures when choosing an ECN broker and trading platform. LonghornFX, a leading ECN trading platform, stands out with its low commissions and swap fees on all trades. Open your live trading account today at https://www.longhornfx.com/ and experience the benefits of trading with LonghornFX. This post contains sponsored advertising content.
